Learn how to permanently delete one of your draft reports from the Drafts button in the top navigation bar.
This button is a personal quick-access list of your draft reports. Its count may differ from the Draft tab inside a register.
Important information
- Deleting a draft is permanent. Deleted drafts cannot be restored.
- Selecting Delete draft opens a confirmation dialog. The draft is deleted immediately once you confirm.
- Drafts are the only register items that can be deleted from Logiqc.
- All users can delete draft items. Users with a Report only licence can delete only their own drafts.
Q: Can a deleted draft be restored?
A: No. Deleting a draft is permanent.
Q: Why is the Drafts count at the top of Logiqc different from a register's Draft tab?
A: They are different views. The top Drafts button is your personal quick-access list of draft reports, while the register tab shows drafts in that register that you can access. Imported document drafts may appear only in the Documents register.
Before you start
Check the following:
- No special permission is required. Any user can delete a draft. Users with a Report only licence are limited to deleting drafts they created themselves; other licence types can delete any draft in the register.
